INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES

INSTALLATION OF FBA-39 ALKALINE BATTERY CASE (OPTION)

The optional FBA-39Battery Case allows receive monitoring using three “AA” size Alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries can also be used for low power transmission in an emergency. The power output will only be selectable 1 W/50 mW (for 50/144/430 MHz FM) or 500 mW/50 mW (for 222 MHz FM), or 1 W fixed (for 50 MHz AM).

TO INSTALL ALKALINE BATTERIES INTO THE FBA-39

1.Lift up the lower right corner of the rubber cover, and then open the cover (Figure 1).

2.Referring to Figure 2, slide the batteries into the FBA-39as shown in the illustration, with the Negative [–] side of the batteries touching the spring connections inside the

FBA-39.

3.Close the rubber cover.

4.Install the FBA-39in the transceiver in the same manner as the FNB-101LI.

The FBA-39does not provide connections for charging, since Alkaline cells cannot be re-charged. Therefore, the NC-86B/C, E-DC-5B, or E-DC-6may safely be connected to the EXT DC jack when the FBA-39is installed.

Notes:

€The FBA-39is designed for use only with AA-type Alkaline cells.

€If you do not use the VX-8Rfor a long time, remove the Alkaline batteries from the FBA-39, as battery leakage could cause damage to the FBA-39and/or the trans- ceiver.
